kcalIngredients
2 ripe avocados (make sure they’re soft!)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut work great)
1/4 cup maple syrup or agave (adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt
Optional toppings: fresh berries, coconut whipped cream, crushed nuts, or dark chocolate shavings
Directions
- Blend It Up: Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender. Add the cocoa powder, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Whip Until Smooth: Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to make sure everything is well combined.
- Taste & Adjust: Give it a taste! If you want it sweeter, add a bit more maple syrup. For a richer chocolate flavor, add another tablespoon of cocoa powder.
- Chill (Optional): Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glasses and pop them in the fridge for 1-2 hours to firm up. This step is optional, but it makes the texture even more luxurious!
- Top & Serve: Add your favorite toppings—I love fresh berries and a sprinkle of crushed almonds for some crunch.
Notes
- Avocado Tip: Make sure your avocados are ripe! They should be soft to the touch but not mushy.
Sweetener Swap: If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use dates, coconut sugar, or even a sugar-free syrup.
Make It Fancy: Serve in pretty glasses or mason jars for a restaurant-worthy presentation.
Storage: This mousse keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
